Summary: "My Empress: Twenty-Three Years of Intimate Life with the Empress of All the Russias" by Madame Marfa Mouchanow is a memoir written in the early 20th century. The narrative recounts the author's personal experiences and observations as the first maid in waiting to Czarina Alexandra of Russia, detailing her life from the time of the Empress's marriage to her exile. The likely topic of the book centers on the intricacies of the royal household, the character of the Czarina, and the turbulent history surrounding the Russian monarchy during a time of great upheaval. The opening of the memoir introduces readers to Madame Mouchanow’s appointment to serve the young Alexandra, who is depicted as a poised but melancholic figure under the shadow of her mother-in-law's dominance and the public’s unpopularity. Mouchanow reflects on the initial adjustment period for Alexandra, filled with personal and courtly challenges, painting a portrait of her as a beautiful yet lonely woman navigating the complexities of her new role. The chapter sets the tone for the exploration of Alexandra’s inner world, her difficulties in fitting into St. Petersburg society, and the personal trials that would shape her legacy as the last Empress of Russia.
